Where Nuxbe does not fit ------------------------ Nuxbe is not a complete general ledger. Balance sheet, profit and loss and VAT returns are produced by your tax advisor from the DATEV export.

Frequently asked questions -------------------------- Is Nuxbe open source like Odoo? The Nuxbe core is MIT licensed and public on GitHub. According to Odoo, its Community Edition is published under LGPLv3 and its Enterprise Edition under a licence of its own. Can I switch from Odoo to Nuxbe? Yes. We first clarify which processes Nuxbe covers, then take over master data and open items. An automatic import from Odoo is not part of the standard. Can I host Nuxbe myself? Yes. The core runs on your own infrastructure, or we operate Nuxbe for you. Is there a DATEV export? Yes, as a premium package. It hands bookings with a reference to the document over to the tax advisor.
